“The oven looks really lopsided on the top.”
“The fries are not consistant because they are not spread out evenly.”
“So…. I’m an idiot. I’ve had mine since early 2020 and somehow completely missed the fact that it was made to flip up for storage. My ONLY complaint about my Foodi was that it always said “FLIP” after my food was done. I’ve thought this whole time that it was telling me to flip the dang food. 🤪”
“I've had mine since Nov of 2019....literally haven't used my big girl oven since I got it. Got rid of my toaster too. Keep these amazing videos coming Vivian, you're beautiful.”
“Pro: cooks great and fast Cons: Very... very hard to clean the interior.”
“At about 10 min I checked on it and they was well past done , but still edible.”
“i have the exact same model .. however; CLEANING MUST BE DONE AFTER EVERY USE; otherwise, cleaning will need elbow grease.. SOS pads....it took me 30 minutes to clean. the inside was all brown with grease. it came out alot better than before but i will live with it”
“Thank you for not editing out the sheet pan warping. Besides being a significant warning to everyone”
“I, like many, try to ignore instructions. This video gave me all the basics I needed. I've only tried air fry, air broil and air roast so far and everything came out pretty darn perfect. Chicken was crispy and moist, salmon was lovely and the heated pizza was almost like the first time. I'm a 77-year-old senior and I'm happy and confident to learn a new way to cook with this Ninja Foodi. Love it!”
“I have the older model and oil or something leaks into the flip mechanism and when I stand it up it looks yucky. Mine has been through the ringer so I’m considering upgrading to the new one”
“I actually have this and I use it more than my full oven. Totally jealous that I didn’t get super duper Walmart lady discount. 🙁”
“Ninja is a little misleading about the preheat.”
“We recently bought one and our main issue is how thin it is. There's not a lot of space between the top rack and the heat lamps above. I put a couple pieces of fried chicken breast in the top rack and didn't realize the chicken was touching the light bulb. It made the most horrendous smell and the oil splatters get onto the light bulbs as well. 🥺”
“I was lucky enough to get one of these at a garage sale for $10. We use it multiple times a day for over a year now. It’s well worth the money.”
“I didn't get as many recipes in my paperwork, though. Only 2 recipes.”
“I was a little disappointed with the consistency of the french fries”
“It seems too close to the top and I don’t understand why there’s no drip pan under the basket”
“You don't use the pan under the air fryer rack when air frying fries. You only use the pan if you are cooking fatty, oily, or marinated ingredients. Secondly, you are supposed to turn the basket 180° halfway through cooking cycle for even browning and crispiness. It's says both of those things right in the manual. Not trying to be mean, but you really should thoroughly read the instructions before reviewing a product. I use my Ninja SP101 all the time and don't burn things like you did. I cook everything from filet mignon to frozen jalapeno poppers in mine and they come out perfect every time.”
“Absolutely love mine! I use it for almost everything and hardly every use my big oven. Love that it hugs the wall and opens up my counter when I don’t need it. Great review!”
“just wish it wasn't digital”
“The old model can be a racket when hot running in air fry mode.”
“Best toaster oven we’ve ever had. Close to everyday use for the past 6 months.”
“It does work good, but check reviews on cleaning the oven, it’s very hard and time consuming,I used sos pads and easy off, then it looks old, Sure, it looks good new, I have a self cleaning oven.why am I going back to scrubbing the WHOLE OVEN ,and I used the spray oil and cleaned it didn’t even cook like chicken or meat”
“my oven was smoking”
